Foreign Music?

Post by Newme » Sun May 14, 2017 2:21 pm

I don't expect to be fluent in all of these, but I'm hoping that some vocab or pronunciation will rub off as I listen.
Do you know any good songs in other languages? Preferably slow because it's easier to hear the words.

French:

Petite Marie, Francis Cabriel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... ZNyLIkrR3U

Here is one in the Sámi language of Lapland (Northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia):

You can note some resemblance of Sofia and Anna to the Siberian Lamanites in facial features and dress.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Thanks, Moksha!
I like it!

Thanks! It (& subsequent songs) helped me work out this morning - good beats.

Some more Spanish (most helpful language in the US, besides English of course)...

This is a pretty powerful Irish rap song about gathering and eating seaweed. Wonder if this song would have been less intense if there was some raw tuna, rice, and wasabi in the middle of that seaweed?

:lol: Yeah, raw tuna, rice and wasabi - less intense. :lol:
I do like some Irish and Scottish sounds- like bagpipes. Ever go to the Scottish festival in Payson (UT)?
